The Meadowlark Nature Festival is pleased to announce that our guest speaker for the 2025 version of the Meadowlark Rendezvous Evening will be the award-winning host of CBC’s “What of Earth” – Laura Lynch.
Ms. Lynch grew up here in the Okanagan and is excited about the opportunity to return and reprise some of her childhood memories of the Valley.
On May 17, 2025, Ms. Lynch will bring her decades of journalism experience to the beautiful Venables Theatre in Oliver, to talk to our eager audience about what they need to know about climate change, its challenges, and solutions. Her national radio program regularly high-lights successes that small towns and small organisations have had in the fight against climate change. We look forward to hearing how those success stories might apply here, locally, in the Okanagan.
Tickets for her presentation and for the rest of the Meadowlark Nature Festival tours will go on sale in April of 2025, but you should mark your calendars now for a great Rendezvous with friends and an hour with Laura Lynch and her positive vision for our planet’s future.
